📋 About This Mod

Description

Adds new icons to FallUI - Inventory for Sim Settlements 2 plot types. So, when you are manually choosing building plans, each of the building plans will be sorted by their plot subcategories. (i.e., all the multi-person homes will be grouped together, all the rare materials industrials will be grouped together, etc.)  This is accomplished using the FallUI Icon system and M8r98a4f2's Complex Item Sorter.

Requirements

Sim Settlements 2 (It’s why this mod exists.)

FallUI -Icon Library (Needed for FallUI's icon system)

FIS -The NEW FallUI Item Sorter (Official Item Sorter for the FallUI mods, works with CIS)

FallUI - Inventory (You will need this to actually see icons in the inventory screens)

M8r98a4f2's Complex Item Sorter (Provides the automated process to put icon tag onto the items, and created an autogenerated patch)

The full FallUI suite, and it is sweet:

FallUI HUD

FallUI Workbench

FallUI Confirm Boxes (incl. Yes I'm Sure)

FallUI Sleep and Wait

Mod Organizer 2 (Kinggath – Pastor Edmund says, ‘Convert my child.’)

I've never used Vortex, nor do I intend to. This is not to say Vortex is inferior, just MO2 is my personal preference.

If you don't use a mod manager, then you are already better than me, good luck.

Use LOOT and your best judgement.

However, if M8r Complex Sorter.esp is not the last or at least close to last esp in the order (Meaning it overwrites the rest) then LOOT was wrong.

Installation

Read the requirements and installation instruction for the required Mods/Tools listed above and install them before trying to install this mod.

Then Install SS2FallUI Icons a CIS plugin.

I recommend using a mod manager to install your mods, I personally use Mod Organizer 2.

Run the Complex Item Sorter bat file. The following dialog box should appear.

Be sure to check the checkbox for JCW SS2 Tagging

Then press generate patch. Then wait…..how long depends on your PC specs.

When CS is done, you should have a new or changed 'M8r Complex Sorter.esp'.

Be sure it is activated it your mod manager.

Should be good to go

When installing an update overwrite the previous files using the Replace option in MO2 install function.

Then re-run the M8r98a4f2's Complex Item Sorter to get a revised M8r_Complex_Sorter.esp
